Well not really if the average life expectancy in the UK is around 80 something!

LukeEvansWife · 04/10/2021 22:52

What the fuck? Confused

Clymene · 04/10/2021 22:52

Yes and idiotic.

PinkArt · 04/10/2021 22:52

😂

With all due respect, OP, if you feel ‘nearly middle-aged’ at 36, you’re doing 26 wrong.

Titsywoo · 04/10/2021 22:53

I am 42 and wouldn't even say middle aged - I would say 45 or 50 to 65 is middle aged.

Don't be daft Confused

One day you'll look back on your year at 26 and realise you'd only just left childhood!

FFSFFSFFS · 04/10/2021 22:54

Hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah

LibrariesGiveUsPower45321 · 04/10/2021 22:54

Hahaha, no you’re old.

According to anyone who’s 14 anyway.

Youcancallmeval · 04/10/2021 22:54

YABV ridiculous. 26 is young. 30 is still young. I would always have said 40s was middle aged, but as I approach 50, am moving the goalposts.

Talipesmum · 04/10/2021 22:55

Are you in a georgette heyer novel?

SemperIdem · 04/10/2021 22:55

Yabu

If you enjoy “middle aged person” things at the age you are that’s fine, however you’re not middle aged.

thefirstmrsrochester · 04/10/2021 22:56

Deary me you need to get a life 😂

AdoptedBumpkin · 04/10/2021 22:57

YABU - you could live for another 70 years if you're lucky.

MildCreamyCheddar · 04/10/2021 22:57

Forties. I start middle age next year. I have felt it creeping up.

Bagelsandbrie · 04/10/2021 22:57

HmmBiscuit

Winecurestiredness · 04/10/2021 22:59

I dont even see 35 as nearly middle age. Early 40s yes. I'm 29 and feel like we don't really fit into any category. Don't feel like a 20 something don't feel like a 30 something. Will probably get my shit together age 45 or thereabouts!

poullou · 04/10/2021 22:59

Look what happens when Instagram goes down for a few hours - young 'uns having an existential crisis!

I'd love to know your views on women having babies in their 40s.

Snugglybuggly · 04/10/2021 23:00

Ridiculous

LublinToDublin · 04/10/2021 23:01

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

DinaofCloud9 · 04/10/2021 23:02

I think you need to improve your life.

CiaoForNiao · 04/10/2021 23:02

You do you hun.

I'm 37 and not middle aged. Definitely not.

MyPatronusIsACat · 04/10/2021 23:04

@User6777000

If people are 'nearly middle aged' at 26, that means the average lifespan is 55.

So of COURSE YABU, and bloody daft. Makes me LOL when someone in their 20s thinks/says they are 'getting old.' I just think 'oh do STFU and grow up.' Hmm
